A tough one for the Wallabies to take.
A gutsy performance, full of grit and heart.
But the Wallabies needed more than that.
Sometimes, to end a drought that goes back 39 years at a graveyard of a venue, you need a bit of luck.

It's at the scrum and the Wallabies are struggling now, the game slipping away.
Damien McKenzie kicks that ball from well inside his own half to within 10 metres of the Wallabies line - what a kick.
Now the All Blacks move the ball.
Now they attack the line.
And the 14-man Wallabies just can't handle it.
Jordie Barrett races into space, pops a pass up and the passes inside to Cam Roigard who races over to score.
The kick is good.
New Zealand 33-24 Australia.
The All Blacks are held up again.
Samisoni Taukei'aho gets over the line but Harry Wilson is there to get under it and hold it up.
Oh that's not great from Harry Potter!
He makes the tackle as the All Blacks surge forward.
But then he gets his hands on the ball.
The referee says the ruck is formed, which it is because there is an All Black support there over it, and Potter is pinged.
He is shown a yellow card and the Wallabies are up against it now.
The All Blacks win a penalty at the line out as the Wallabies push early.
They have plenty of possession and move up field a bit but the referee says they've gone nowhere and walks back for the penalty.
The rolling maul!
The mass of bodies!
And then the arm goes up as Carlo Tizzano somehow gets the ball down!
The kick from O'Connor is brilliant!
The Wallabies are back within two points!
New Zealand 26-24 Australia
Brilliant from the Wallabies.
Filipo Daugunu shows incredible dexterity to pick up a low pass and keep the move alive.
Then Potter kicks the ball on and Jordie Barrett is forced to kick the ball out.
The All Blacks win a penalty after Filipo Daugunu makes a tackle and then doesn't roll away.
That's what led to Morgan Turinui's unbelievable rant at the referee.
Refereeing is a very difficult job at the best of times.
So this is out of order from Morgan Turinui.
"The Wallabies just need to take a breath. They're in the fight, they've just got to be more accurate and not allow a referee that's not up to this occasion, that's been appointed by World Rugby in error to to take them out of the game at the moment."
I can't believe I've heard that.
